"here you are" truly--a modern poet preciously at work extracting through PAX NOBISCUM the subleties of reason that too often elude us in the glitter of their rhymes. Sincere gratitude for the read.

This strobes me in thoughts! "...here I am." period...no way to track you down, no need to...you can always be found, all we have to do is...look!
...and I'm seeing Kate Burnside flooring me again with another Fantastic write!
Love this!
Love and Peace~

Oh...my dear poet friend...please forgive the following. I am in an
utterly screwball mood today, and simply had to pen up a satire in answer to the above:
PACKS NABISC0
Without agenda, long list or plan, She approaches her desk
Carton in hand.
Nibbles away on crackers, the while
She scribes funny verse
With wickedest smile.
The ethereal imagery, the mystic atmosphere makes it a perfect read. Did I see a bit of elliptic construct or is that a dangling modifier (S1), and again I wonder "why" maps the tide...that leads a chain of thought.
I've been pondering purpose lately and the people who say there is no purpose nor cause and effect. I like your phrasing in this poem, Kate. ~~Nordette
Accepting one for whom they are: that's all we ask, but don't practice in reality. A powerfully thought provoking poem of compassion, excellently penned: well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Peace be with you. Great scenes in this poem. I like your final assertion. Victor
I see you share my philosophy of "Here I am, like me or don't." We must be true to ourselves and never try to be anything that we are not. It doesn't take a mental giant or even an overly aware individual to be able to spot false pretense. Shaping ourselves into the person we feel comfortable in being is both an amazing feat and also very freeing. Smart penning, Kate.
Take care,
Sherry
Always be yourself and you can't go wrong. Too many promise a rose garden and deliver one full of weeds.

You pen self examination in thoughtful humbleeness.
A rare take on admitting that we are tools of the elements
Did I miss anything in there? This is quite provoking...
when you're not the author.

"This is me, here I am" For those who are victims of prejudice We csn all pray that,eventually they will find the hope and agenda
they can live with, even if it isn't what they wanted most. Fine poem, Kate!
